Re: Make apostrophes invisible in Help buffers

    The apostrophes are put in the doc string so that links can be parsed in the
    Help buffer, not for the end user.

The apostrophes follow a general GNU convention for indicating symbol
names in text.  We have followed that convention for 20 years.
So I am not going to say yes to this change.
